1984...The earth began to shatter
Death began to wane and this life began to matter
Enter in the pill the solution and the cure
Might sound a little crazy but I heard of this before

I don't mean to say it's me, I'm just a willing vessel
In a day and a time when nobody even cares
When nobody knows of God, but tradition instead
This path of loneliness makes them wishing they were dead

The complacency... The stagnation
The moral decay in this righteous indignation
If nobody will stand, gotta tell the rocks to do it
Nobody's getting up, tell the bones hop to it

I was bred for this life and the hardship
Bypassing the lies, stir an army, start marching
Marching... We're done with this illness
We got the assignment, now we're stirring the realness

It's time to get up
It's time to get up
It's time to get up
It's time to get up
Gotta move on right now
Gotta move on right now
Gotta move on right now
Gotta move on right now

It's time to get up!

Everybody wants a good life
Yeah, There's not even one
Who would want a life of slavery
In the heat of the red hot sun

I was never meant to boast me
Instead I was confident, Holy Ghost - HE
Is the only one that is living in me
He's the words that come out spilling outside me

Everybody's saying something
When inside they're really saying nothing
And the jabs and the hurt kicking fire and the dirt
And the worth being less and the stress over tense - Dang

I'm a soldier, not deliverer
I'm a man not the God that can live in ya
So don't hold me to standard that kill me in minute
I can't win it coz I'm nothing but a failure

It is He who will overcome
He that is never done
It is He that's The Only Son
He that's in me and they see now that we are one
So don't ask me why I'm rising up
Don't tell me that my time is up
It's my time to be standing up...but I wonder now... If it'll be enough

It's time to get up
It's time to get up
It's time to get up
It's time to get up
Gotta move on right now
Gotta move on right now
Gotta move on right now
Gotta move on right now
